Can anyone translate these song lyrics?

Question

I had the misfortune of hearing this on the radio recently. I had almost forgotten it.. ...'Hooked on a Feeling' - here's the part I don't understand: Ouga Chaka ouga!...etc. etc. What IS that?

Answer 1

Well for goodness sakes...at least you could spell it right. It's 'ooga chaka ooga.'

Ooga chaka ooga translates to 'hey nonny ding dong, a-lang a-lang da shoop a loop.' (...or is it droop da boop..?)

If you were as old as me you might remember Steve Allen doing hilarious bits on his TV show about those rock songs with nonsense lyrics. Straight-faced and dead serious, he'd read them like they were profound bits of poetry.

Answer 2

It means, " Don't step on my Blue Swede shoes." The brilliant an enigmatic( or was it enematic?) group from Sweden wrote the lyrics " Ouga Chaka ouga." Blue Swede was a legend in the small Scandanavian village of Lutefiska. The words came to them as they were choking on lye saturated Icelandic cod. My Norwegian grandmother sometimes served Lutefisk to the unwary. It is something akin to eating cardboard with a distinct alkaline flavor. It is enough to make anyone say, " Ouga Chaka Ouga " as one slips into unconsciousness.
